Black Bean Sweet Potato Burritos

I was originally going to make kale enchiladas tonight, but the kale wasn’t looking so hot. Luckily I happened to have all the items on hand to make the Black Bean Sweet Potato Burritos from Simply in Season.

3 cups sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1/2 onion diced

2 cups black beans

1 tsp cumin

3/4 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

8 tortillas

1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded

1. Saute’ the onion and sweet potato in a large frying pan until just tender. Can add a little oil or water if it starts to stick.

2. Add the spices and black beans and cook until heated through.

3. Divide up the mixture and cheese among 8 tortillas, roll up, and bake in a 9×13 pan at 350F for 20-25 minutes.

4. Serve with sour cream, salsa, and cilantro if desired (not included in the nutrition info).

Servings: 4

Yield: 8

The verdict: Definitely a keeper! I LOVED how the cinnamon complemented the sweet potato. A nice quick weeknight meal.
